Taleb says casinos spend millions on surveillance tech but have lost millions on other incidents like kidnapping of the casino owners daughter, lion attack at a performance, failed attempted explosion by a disgruntled employee.
He says that casinos have missed out by focusing on other issues. Maybe they haven't lost millions on gambling *Because* of their surveillance tech. Tempted to get taleb onto a Twitter war

So far I read this book (not started) with the intention of explaining this to my superstitious friends, not unlike the twitter war nnt and dawkins get themselves into. Having read fooled by randomness, thinking fast and slow and following nnt and related fields knew most of it. Finally getting to interesting parts where im reading for myself again.

Sextus the (alas) empirical, read this one page sub chapter.
He really annoys me here, tries to sound smart, name drops. Usually i appreciate his use of jargon, cause it increases clarity of what he tries to communicate. This was just overdone, similar to the ramblings of an incoherent intellectual we met at some bar.

Ok, Taleb can be a dick, he probably is.
He’s probably one of the smartest thinkers in the world, but he’s also a f****** idiot.
